Owner Artes Depret Architect Salens architecten General Contractor Artes Depret Engineering Office Establis Construction Period 09/2016 - Not known The building consists of a subterranean car park and 8 upper storeys. The first 2 storeys are used as cruise terminal. Above it, new offices of Artes Depret will come, and on the 7th and 8th storey a restaurant will offer diners a beautiful view of the sea and Bruges’ polder land. The superstructure is constructed using post-tensioned slabs (28 till 55 cm in thickness). Numerous columns 20 x 45 cm in the façade are a consequence of the architectural concept. They do not run from the bottom to the top, but follow the shifted rotation of the slabs offering a maximum utilisation of the office areas. There are 2 cores and 5 inner columns with spans up to 10 m to cover the 26 x 33 m² office areas. The slab covering in the +0 and +1 floors not only transfers the increasing loads of the façade columns into five 6 m high columns, they also cantilever 6 m in 2 directions. In the basement, 8 m long composite beams 100 x 120 cm with 2 HEB 800 are used to transfer the loads of the superstructure columns to the subterranean columns to maximize the parking space. The structure is founded on piles. The 3D model was used to determine the reinforcement in the columns and concrete walls. The deformation of the structure was analysed with special attention, since this influences the load transfer in the vertical members. Cruise Terminal - Zeebrugge, Belgium
